Copy-Edits, High School, Contest Winner
How's this for fun synchronicity?
I sent back the copy-edits for I So Don't Do Spooky (book #2). They arrived at Random House yesterday, Sept. 9, which is exactly three months before the release of I So Don't Do Mysteries (book #1)!!!
Okay, fine, it looked more interesting before I typed it.
In other news--tonight I attended Open House at Child #2's high school. Can I just say that I LOVE Open House at the high school. LOVE it. I don't know why. I didn't particularly enjoy high school the first time around. But there's something about English reading lists and those little desks with the chairs attached and overhead projectors. It takes me back to a time when the future stretched out for miles.
I went from class to class, listening to the teachers, reading the class requirements, chatting with other parents. And I thought to myself, I'd be so so good at high school now. Then I went to Algebra II. Yikes. I am so glad to be done with high school.
In yet other news-- DH, not Child #4 (who is exhausted with her return to school), chose the winner for the exotic Canadian foods contest.
And the winner is (drum roll)... Linda of Flights a Fancy!!
Linda, please have your people email my people at barrie.summy@gmail.com.

Sometimes I miss being in school, but I get over that pretty fast ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a buy time for you. I like the book marks especially the white one.
ReplyDeletegrats linda!
ReplyDeleteHS again, Yuck! All those clicks and trying to discover who you are (or arent'...) But I'd do college over again in a heartbeat. (except for final time! That would be too much stress.)
ReplyDeleteLove your book mark.
Love your bookmarks! They are so happy!

ReplyDeleteCongrats to Linda! I'm going to have to see if I can get those ketchup chips online...You've got me mighty curious now, Barrie! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose bookmarks are so cute.
I often think about how great I'd be at high school & undergrad now that I'm a little older & wiser....
ReplyDeleteI 'so' think you've got it made, Barrie - half way thru the arc of your mystery book and I 'so' can't wait to read the NEXT one ...!
ReplyDeleteI definitely have mixed feelings about high school ... but my two girls loved it and still love it ... my son, he struggled in that big, crowded place - except for the water polo part.
Thank you, Gabe!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid I know your son played water polo? I have two boys who are heavily into water polo.
So funny! I've thought the same thing, about how if only I could go to high school now I'd be so much better at it. Of course, I think some of my peers would drive me nuts.
ReplyDeleteBook mark is awesome even though most of my books are audio.
ReplyDeleteThose are some stellar bookmarks! Love 'em! I'm getting excited about the book!
